It reasonably straight forward I think, as long as 3rd parties respect the Apache license, brand and it’s trademarks all is good. For instance [2] There may need to be a discussion around how do we license non code stuff as the ALv2 was only written with software in mind. We also need to take care including stuff that under other licenses, for instance a lot of content is under creative common licenses and that may or may not be compatible with the apache license. [1] > How exactly can we do that and especially how can we market it and refer to > it? As long as there’s no confusion with users that the compony is representing the ASF or the ASF project in question, again all is good.

This has come up a couple of of time at the board level and from memory it's been something the ASF don’t want to do, that doesn’t mean we can’t bring it up again.
